I don't know if Markus still reads jgo much these days, but congratulations man. It's freaking epic.

Seconded - it's awesome!

Main changes I've noticed with 1.0: - villagers (annoying, useless, just there to be slaughtered, basically) - endermen don't die in daylight, and teleport frequently, a lot more scary than before - there's a LOT more animals around (chickens, cows, sheep)

Contrgats to this success. Especially bringing the java-platform to mainstream gaming.

(Also means that minecraftplayers can and want to start Java games and got Java installed for it, wich is good for all of us here)

Markus has done a great game but lots of GNU Linux users complain because Minecraft works bad with OpenJDK on some machines, some players had to use Wine to install it without problems which is a complete nonsense for a Java game. Minecraft is nice but it has caused mainstream problems too.

Markus has stuck with a pretty old version of LWJGL because it works on more systems than the later versions. It might have been helpful if he'd contributed some coders and / or some of that giant pile money he's made off the back of it to getting that stuff fixed and providing testing. Hm.

Cas

Yea seriously, has he not contributed anything to LWJGL or anything like that? Does he even acknowledge...anything to do with it? I remember when he posted Minecraft here for people to try it out before it became big, and now hes gone..

*edit* lol he mentioned tigsource but not javagaming, that would have been awesome.

he didnt ever mention javagaming? too bad.... haha, my friends never believe me when I say i've talked to both notch, and the guy(I don't think they know Cas by name) who made revenge of the titans in the humble bundle haha.

He has donated to LWJGL in the past and the library is credited on the credit page.

Its likely he's way too busy to have time to spend or think about JGO, especially now that he has to run a company.

Ahh thats good to hear! Of course I figured he has way too many things on his mind at the moment to really detract from anything other than his company and minecraft, it just sounded like he didnt do anything in the post but its good to know he has!
